Counterfeit Product

I saw an ad on Instagram for Articulating Plastic flags with imbedded magnets. Original cost was $24.97. I ended up paying $38.97, 37% tax. It took two months for the items to arrive. The first tracking had the items end up in San Diago. Then it stopped. I contacted PayPal to cancel the order, and all of the sudden, they were reshipping. When they arrived, they looked nothing like the ones shown in the ad. I tried to attach one to my metal door and it just slid down. The magnets were not imbedded and could not hold the weight of the material. Contacted PayPal. If I send the items back, I will get my money back. It cost $22.40 to send the items back. That is 57% of the purchase price.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered 4 bags and the price was higher than advertised. The bags were nothing like the description which said they were individually handmade by a lady named Martha who lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Quilted and hand appliqued, with a tag inside with her name, and there was more description none of which was true. When I tracked the package I could see it was coming from China and the address to return the bags (at my expense) was Hong Kong.

Online Purchase - Online Retail Scam

This company ran a buy one get one promo. Half of the merchandise was shipped. It is extremely difficult to get ahold of them at all. When I did they stated there has been a lot of theft of their merchandise. I pointed out the weight of the package they sent did not correspond with the amount of product I bought. I even tried to do a return. They sent a prepaid packing label but the items were marked as “0.00” because they were part of the promo. That doesn’t work when I never received half of the items in the bundle. Those items on my receipt previously had a price next to them. Via email they even acknowledged no other package was sent for this specific order but did not offer to make it right.

I had a very disappointing experience with Zorkx.com. I ordered three BBQ cleaners and never received my order. When I contacted customer service, they told me the package had been delivered, but they could not provide any proof of delivery, such as a delivery photo or other documentation showing it was actually delivered to my address. Instead of helping resolve the issue, they simply told me to contact the shipping carrier and offered no assistance. As the retailer, I expected them to help investigate the missing package or work toward a resolution. Instead, I was left to deal with the problem on my own after paying for products I never received. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend doing business with this company. If something goes wrong with your order, don't expect them to provide meaningful customer support or help ensure you receive the products you paid for.

My mom saw an ad on Facebook and maybe even Gmail in promotions about these wide shoes guaranteed to fit. She ordered two for $89 - no sales tax was charged - they took 3 weeks to arrive. They were terrible quality and not like the photos posted. Their hassle free return policy is that if they do not fit or if you don't like the quality, the customer has to pay for shipping to return them to the UNITED KINGDOM. That is NOT hassle free and cost way too much. When you return, they offer you 80% off more of their poor quality shoes! This site needs to be taken down!

After a week of asking for shipping status was informed engine on its way and was to be delivered 7-10 business days. After several contact attempts the contact number was disconnected and seller didn’t respond at all. I immediately contacted my credit card company and disputed the charges, the credit card company is still investigating but was informed that most likely it was a possible scam!!!!

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Usually what I do to reserve a hotel room is google "hotels and Madison, WI" for example. Then a list of local hotels & motels comes up. For the most part they are usually local numbers, but sometimes i guess there are 1-800 #s. Well this phone # said Wyoming, where I am on vacation currently. So I assumed Im talking to a local person. Usually I call the nearby hotel directly and ask how much a room is & if its available. Sometimes I reserve a room. But usually I pay in person - which is what I will do from now on!!!! From now on! Sometimes when you are on vacation you are stuck with a stupid Hotel that costs around $160 and you take it because your tired from driving all day! So, I simply (and stupidly) assumed that this hotel was an expensive one because it looks very nice on the outside. Then when I checked out this morning I asked the check-out person for a receipt. It said $0 on the hotel receipt because "I did not pay them" I paid a stupid third (turd) party!!! Well, thats odd that it printed $0 - wonder why???!!! So the lady wrote my amount down via pen and GUESS WHAT - it was only $91. WTH? Then I called this company to complain today. They make it seem like its a local number, the email makes it seem like its from Baymont Hotel, and the email has a stupid name like "Reservations Support". When you get a receipt you should get it from a real company name like Baymont Hotel. support or Reservations, Inc. so it looks like a real company. [email protected] Reservation Support [email protected]. Just like another person mentioned about this company from last year.
